IT resilience, carefree entrepreneurship.
We are multidisciplinary infrastructure and IT Operations experts.
We bring passion, focus, and results to our work and your company.
DORA became enforceable on January 17, 2025. The changes that you were or are ready for this date are slim.
We can help with getting you there.
TY is a small company, and that allows us to care about yours. That is the first basis for working together. Our base of operations is indeed large global corporations in high-velocity markets. That is where we honed our strengths. Where simple mistakes could cost millions, Where delays in reaction could impact thousands of customers.
We bring this experience to large enterprises, but also to medium-sized companies, where TY translates these processes into practical and effective tools for your IT operations and infrastructure. You define the goal of us working together, and in the end we want to ensure your company can weather any event and thrive via performant and resilient IT.
If you want a sparring partner or a guiding hand to get you past a specific issue, or get you to the next maturity level, give us a call.
Resilience governance is all about the Board and Exco oversight and ICT risk management you must have in place to guarantee client services.
Resilience is not a paper exercise. You must actually test your strength against adverse events.
Stating that you are resilient is one thing; you must be able to prove your resilience according to various regulations, and most notably, you must show and prove it to your clients.
This gives you our expertise on tap. Do you have an issue? Call us. You want to have a sparring partner to solve a problem? Call us. Do you need a sounding board? Call us.
TY provides advisory services as well as traditional consulting. We also execute study and revision services for your policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines to ensure compliance with DORA, NIS2 and corporate requirements of both your own company and that of your clients. And we also check against our internal best ways of working.
This is where you have our undivided attention, and we work with you one on one until resolution. Note that there is a waiting period for this service at this time.
If you are interested, please first book a call so that we can determine if we are a good fit together.
As a technical consultant, Gert is an All-Star performer... He has got many wins under his belt... His willingness to work hard, knowledge of regional systems (especially Tokyo) and Microsoft Office is well respected within the Group
Flexibility, Adaptability, problem Solving are Gert's strong points, Exceptionally beneficial in "crisis." I can attest that Gert will always see a problem through. if he needs to hand it off, it will aways have good handoff notes. His business knowledge is good and will part of the next project.
As with the classes for SFC, Gert organised formal classes for all of the Research IT teams.... I would class this job as well done, given everything that was going on with Rsearch IT.
Excellent technical resource. Quick help on issues and provide explanations to regional teams. Often covers for us in the evenings or when things get particularly busy.
Gert time in Japan was a great success. He really helped the IT group through a really difficult tume during the roll out of {the global research publishing system} and had to cover all the bases that had not been properly coverd by the previous person in Japan. Gert's visit also coincided with Stuart's joining into the Asia IT Research group. Gert was very flexible in the hours that he worked and the lenght of time he was out in Tokyo (in the end more than 4 weeks.)
The feedback from both the users and the IT group was VERY positive on Gertt's contribution. He was more than capabable to put across technical points to the IT team, in their language.
Gert is a knowledgeable individual who takes on additional responsibility... rapidly addressng end-user issues and developing custom solutions when needed.
TY delivers on the IT resilience what and how. Get actionable IT, management, governance, and productivity research, insights, blueprints with templates, easy-to-use tools, and clear instructions to help you execute effectively and become IT resilient.
Our TY network base constantly informs us about our IT resilience research and validates it through client experiences. TY adds to that by applying this research to real-world situations in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Europe and the US.
It is tempting to use your gut instinct. Don't. Everything TY does, is data-driven. From our research to our interactions with you, we use an analytical approach to help you move forward with your key IT resilience projects.
TY believes strongly in leveraging technology and personal delivery. That is why TY uses one on one calling sessions using Teams and Zoom. When needed I do on site delivery.
Every advisory option has a set number of interactive contact points in addition to email and chat options. Every contact request is answered by me personally.
Through the use of technology, I ensure that instead of you having to drive to your coach, the coach “comes” to you!
TY is available on European time from 09:00 until 17:00 and US EST 09:00-17:00 (depending on already booked appointments).
While this is a difficult question to answer, let's give it a shot.
Ideally I work value-based. But this is more for well-defined projects where the ROI is quantifiable rather than qualifiable.
Often advisory services are a discovery and we obtain results together. You may even only need an experienced sounding board. This type of pricing starts from €4,500.
By popular demand, yes, I added this. It is not the cheapest way to use me, but it may be the most effective for you.

You are allowed to record the sessions and use them internally in your organization, including as part of your internal training. You are not allowed to resell these without a resale agreement.
Interestingly, in the majority of advisory services the answer is no.
Purely on-site automatically limits the time we can spend together. Thus, typically, the interactions are of a shorter duration. Even when this is done over a longer timeframe, like 5 to 10 days, this is really too short for effective advising, coaching and mentoring.
We stay away from accelerated programs, where I can send a lot of information, and most of it will not stick.
Terry Sejnowski a neuroscientist, actually states that cramming does not help you remember. It gets you, maybe, through the next exam, but the information is not retained. The way to integrate and remember information is to spread out the study and repeat. This is called the spacing effect.
This is why I employ the online delivery method. When you record our sessions, you can come back and again repeat it, note down your questions and fire them off to me. I respond and you go back into the talk. Then you apply, possibly fail, and come back again until it succeeds, and then you make it your own.
That is why time-pressured, on-site delivery does not work. Our method makes you effective because you internalized the material and feedback. This can then be rounded-off by on-site finalization.
10-15 years ago, this was not possible, as the web-based tools were simply not fast enough. Today, unless you are taking classes like carpentry or other topics that require on-site delivery, online delivery is the way to go.
We actually prefer wire transfer. It cuts down on the financial fees and it is the norm in the European Union. Our US customer can also use this feature and pay into our US bank.
Tymans Group has two locations:
In Europe, Belgium and in Greenville, DE, United States,
The HQ is in Belgium.
Resilience is not size-dependent. That said, if you are supplying critical services to financial services firms, you may not have a choice. In that case, be prepared to up your game. Call TY in this case. We can help you fulfill third-party requirements, such as the DORA regulation.
In other cases, if you plan to grow your company beyond 25 employees, then yes. Start with the basics, though. Make sure you have a good understanding of your current challenges. Schedule a chat with me to determine the right baseline.
If you are just starting out and want to ensure that your company's processes are correct right out of the gate, it's better to give me a call. We can start you off in the right direction without spending too much.
Our guides are only available to existing advisory clients. Let's chat informally if we are a fit for you.
Our guides are only available to existing advisory clients.
But also see the above question about company size and target clients. If you have fewer than 25 employees and you are not supplying critical services to financial institutions, then maybe some of our guides are not for you. We can still help you organize your resilience, but it may be more cost-effective to use only our TY Advisory services.
Once you grow beyond 25 employees, you will benefit from our processes. Just implement what you need. How do you know what you require? You probably already have an inkling of what is lacking in your organization. If you are unsure, please get in touch with us.
In short, the answer is yes, and TY can help you. Once you know what you are looking for, that guide allows you to handle it yourself. If you require help selecting the right guide, please get in touch with us.

Yes, more assistance is available. Tymans Group can provide you with any assistance you require within the parameters of your contract.
Per-guide assistance ranges from a single phone or video consultation to guided implementation or a workshop. Alternatively we can go to do-it-for-you implementation or even full-time consulting.
